Hi there! A lot has changed and happened in the past few months.  Between making life changing decisions and rearranging my personal priorities (all of which I’ll get into in my future posts), I have been MIA on my blog.

After a lot of back and forth and soul-searching, I decided to accept my admission to Washington University School of Law at St. Louis. However, I wasn’t ready to leave Spain this past summer to start the next chapter of my life. In a fairly last minute decision ..read more
